    208 OREGON WILD Afterword JIM CALLAHAN One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am — a reluctant enthusiast.... a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of your- selves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it is still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for awhile and contemplate the precious still- ness, the lovely mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men with their hearts in a safe-deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards. —Edward Abbey1 Edward Abbey. Ed, take it from another Ed, not only can wilderness lovers outlive wilderness opponents, we can also defeat them. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men (sic) UNIVERSITY, SHREVEPORT UNIVERSITY, to do nothing.

    United States Department of the Interior OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY Washington, DC 20240 NOTICE OF PROPOSED DECISION To Assign Grazing Preference and Issue a Ten-Year Grazing Permit, Adjust Animal Unit Month, Accept Allotment Management Plans, and Construct and Remove Range Improvements within the Bridge Creek Area Allotments (Hammond, Mud Creek, Hardie Summer, and Hammond Fenced Federal Range) Dear Interested Party: You are receiving this proposed decision because you are one of the applicants for available forage within the Bridge Creek area or an interested public. PROPOSED DECISION ON AVAILABLE FORAGE AND GRAZING PREFERENCE The purpose of this proposed decision is to apportion available forage within the Bridge Creek Area allotments of Hammond, Mud Creek, Hardie Summer, and Hammond FFR, and assign grazing preference. Grazing preference is defined in 43 CFR 4100.0-5 as “a superior or priority position against others for the purpose of receiving a grazing permit or lease. This priority is attached to base property owned or controlled by a permittee or lessee.” Being apportioned grazing preference does not guarantee the preference holder a grazing permit. Issuance of a grazing permit is done through the NEPA process. The proposed decision to issue a grazing permit is below. It is my proposed decision that Hammond Ranches Inc. (HRI) will be apportioned all available forage in the Bridge Creek area grazing allotments. This includes the Hammond, Hammond FFR, Mud Creek, and the Hardie Summer allotments. HRI was apportioned this preference based on the factors in 43 CFR 4130.1-2 due to their extensive historic use of these allotments, past proper use of rangeland resources, a high level of general need, and advantages conferred by topography.
